commit f9c52a6ba9780bd27e0bf4c044fd91c13c778b6e upstream.

seg6_input_core() and rpl_input() call ip6_route_input() which sets a
NOREF dst on the skb, then pass it to dst_cache_set_ip6() invoking
dst_hold() unconditionally.
On PREEMPT_RT, ksoftirqd is preemptible and a higher-priority task can
release the underlying pcpu_rt between the lookup and the caching
through a concurrent FIB lookup on a shared nexthop.
Simplified race sequence:

  ksoftirqd/X                       higher-prio task (same CPU X)
  -----------                       --------------------------------

                                             [W &lt;&gt; Z, stale]

    dst_cache_set_ip6(dst)
      -&gt; dst_hold() on dead dst
      -&gt; WARN / use-after-free

For the race to occur, ksoftirqd must be preemptible (PREEMPT_RT without
PREEMPT_RT_NEEDS_BH_LOCK) and a concurrent task must be able to release
the pcpu_rt. Shared nexthop objects provide such a path, as two routes
pointing to the same nhid share the same fib6_nh and its rt6i_pcpu
entry.

Fix seg6_input_core() and rpl_input() by calling skb_dst_force() after
ip6_route_input() to force the NOREF dst into a refcounted one before
caching.
The output path is not affected as ip6_route_output() already returns a
refcounted dst.

<title>ipv6: rpl: reserve mac_len headroom when recompressed SRH grows</title>

commit 9e6bf146b55999a095bb14f73a843942456d1adc upstream.

ipv6_rpl_srh_rcv() decompresses an RFC 6554 Source Routing Header, swaps
the next segment into ipv6_hdr-&gt;daddr, recompresses, then pulls the old
header and pushes the new one plus the IPv6 header back.  The
recompressed header can be larger than the received one when the swap
reduces the common-prefix length the segments share with daddr (CmprI=0,
CmprE&gt;0, seg[0][0] != daddr[0] gives the maximum +8 bytes).

pskb_expand_head() was gated on segments_left == 0, so on earlier
segments the push consumed unchecked headroom.  Once skb_push() leaves
fewer than skb-&gt;mac_len bytes in front of data,
skb_mac_header_rebuild()'s call to:

	skb_set_mac_header(skb, -skb-&gt;mac_len);

will store (data - head) - mac_len into the u16 mac_header field, which
wraps to ~65530, and the following memmove() writes mac_len bytes ~64KiB
past skb-&gt;head.

A single AF_INET6/SOCK_RAW/IPV6_HDRINCL packet over lo with a two
segment type-3 SRH (CmprI=0, CmprE=15) reaches headroom 8 after one
pass; KASAN reports a 14-byte OOB write in ipv6_rthdr_rcv.

Fix this by expanding the head whenever the remaining room is less than
the push size plus mac_len, and request that much extra so the rebuilt
MAC header fits afterwards.

commit ade67d5f588832c7ba131aadd4215a94ce0a15c8 upstream.

When SEG6_IPTUN_MODE_L2ENCAP_RED (L2ENCAP_RED) was introduced, the
condition in seg6_build_state() that excludes L2 encap modes from
setting LWTUNNEL_STATE_OUTPUT_REDIRECT was not updated to account for
the new mode.
As a consequence, L2ENCAP_RED routes incorrectly trigger seg6_output()
on the output path, where the packet is silently dropped because
skb_mac_header_was_set() fails on L3 packets.

Extend the check to also exclude L2ENCAP_RED, consistent with L2ENCAP.

When trace-&gt;type.bit6 is set:

    if (trace-&gt;type.bit6) {
        ...
        queue = skb_get_tx_queue(dev, skb);
        qdisc = rcu_dereference(queue-&gt;qdisc);

This code can lead to an out-of-bounds access of the dev-&gt;_tx[] array
when is_input is true. In such a case, the packet is on the RX path and
skb-&gt;queue_mapping contains the RX queue index of the ingress device. If
the ingress device has more RX queues than the egress device (dev) has
TX queues, skb_get_queue_mapping(skb) will exceed dev-&gt;num_tx_queues.
Add a check to avoid this situation since skb_get_tx_queue() does not
clamp the index. This issue has also revealed that per queue visibility
cannot be accurate and will be replaced later as a new feature.

While at it, add missing lock around qdisc_qstats_qlen_backlog(). The
function __ioam6_fill_trace_data() is called from both softirq and
process contexts, hence the use of spin_lock_bh() here.

`eui64_mt6()` derives a modified EUI-64 from the Ethernet source address
and compares it with the low 64 bits of the IPv6 source address.

The existing guard only rejects an invalid MAC header when
`par-&gt;fragoff != 0`. For packets with `par-&gt;fragoff == 0`, `eui64_mt6()`
can still reach `eth_hdr(skb)` even when the MAC header is not valid.

Fix this by removing the `par-&gt;fragoff != 0` condition so that packets
with an invalid MAC header are rejected before accessing `eth_hdr(skb)`.

<title>seg6: separate dst_cache for input and output paths in seg6 lwtunnel</title>

The seg6 lwtunnel uses a single dst_cache per encap route, shared
between seg6_input_core() and seg6_output_core(). These two paths
can perform the post-encap SID lookup in different routing contexts
(e.g., ip rules matching on the ingress interface, or VRF table
separation). Whichever path runs first populates the cache, and the
other reuses it blindly, bypassing its own lookup.

Fix this by splitting the cache into cache_input and cache_output,
so each path maintains its own cached dst independently.

After async crypto completes, xfrm_input_resume() calls dev_put()
immediately on re-entry before the skb reaches transport_finish.
The skb-&gt;dev pointer is then used inside NF_HOOK and its okfn,
which can race with device teardown.

Remove the dev_put from the async resumption entry and instead
drop the reference after the NF_HOOK call in transport_finish,
using a saved device pointer since NF_HOOK may consume the skb.
This covers NF_DROP, NF_QUEUE and NF_STOLEN paths that skip
the okfn.

For non-transport exits (decaps, gro, drop) and secondary
async return points, release the reference inline when
async is set.

&lt;quote&gt;
 I believe I found a locally triggerable kernel bug in the IPv6 sendmsg
 ancillary-data path that can panic the kernel via `skb_under_panic()`
 (local DoS).

 The core issue is a mismatch between:

 - a 16-bit length accumulator (`struct ipv6_txoptions::opt_flen`, type
 `__u16`) and
 - a pointer to the *last* provided destination-options header (`opt-&gt;dst1opt`)

 when multiple `IPV6_DSTOPTS` control messages (cmsgs) are provided.

 - `include/net/ipv6.h`:
   - `struct ipv6_txoptions::opt_flen` is `__u16` (wrap possible).
 (lines 291-307, especially 298)
 - `net/ipv6/datagram.c:ip6_datagram_send_ctl()`:
   - Accepts repeated `IPV6_DSTOPTS` and accumulates into `opt_flen`
 without rejecting duplicates. (lines 909-933)
 - `net/ipv6/ip6_output.c:__ip6_append_data()`:
   - Uses `opt-&gt;opt_flen + opt-&gt;opt_nflen` to compute header
 sizes/headroom decisions. (lines 1448-1466, especially 1463-1465)
 - `net/ipv6/ip6_output.c:__ip6_make_skb()`:
   - Calls `ipv6_push_frag_opts()` if `opt-&gt;opt_flen` is non-zero.
 (lines 1930-1934)
 - `net/ipv6/exthdrs.c:ipv6_push_frag_opts()` / `ipv6_push_exthdr()`:
   - Push size comes from `ipv6_optlen(opt-&gt;dst1opt)` (based on the
 pointed-to header). (lines 1179-1185 and 1206-1211)

 1. `opt_flen` is a 16-bit accumulator:

 - `include/net/ipv6.h:298` defines `__u16 opt_flen; /* after fragment hdr */`.

 2. `ip6_datagram_send_ctl()` accepts *repeated* `IPV6_DSTOPTS` cmsgs
 and increments `opt_flen` each time:

 - In `net/ipv6/datagram.c:909-933`, for `IPV6_DSTOPTS`:
   - It computes `len = ((hdr-&gt;hdrlen + 1) &lt;&lt; 3);`
   - It checks `CAP_NET_RAW` using `ns_capable(net-&gt;user_ns,
 CAP_NET_RAW)`. (line 922)
   - Then it does:
     - `opt-&gt;opt_flen += len;` (line 927)
     - `opt-&gt;dst1opt = hdr;` (line 928)

 There is no duplicate rejection here (unlike the legacy
 `IPV6_2292DSTOPTS` path which rejects duplicates at
 `net/ipv6/datagram.c:901-904`).

 If enough large `IPV6_DSTOPTS` cmsgs are provided, `opt_flen` wraps
 while `dst1opt` still points to a large (2048-byte)
 destination-options header.

 In the attached PoC (`poc.c`):

 - 32 cmsgs with `hdrlen=255` =&gt; `len = (255+1)*8 = 2048`
 - 1 cmsg with `hdrlen=0` =&gt; `len = 8`
 - Total increment: `32*2048 + 8 = 65544`, so `(__u16)opt_flen == 8`
 - The last cmsg is 2048 bytes, so `dst1opt` points to a 2048-byte header.

 3. The transmit path sizes headers using the wrapped `opt_flen`:

- In `net/ipv6/ip6_output.c:1463-1465`:
  - `headersize = sizeof(struct ipv6hdr) + (opt ? opt-&gt;opt_flen +
 opt-&gt;opt_nflen : 0) + ...;`

 With wrapped `opt_flen`, `headersize`/headroom decisions underestimate
 what will be pushed later.

 4. When building the final skb, the actual push length comes from
 `dst1opt` and is not limited by wrapped `opt_flen`:

 - In `net/ipv6/ip6_output.c:1930-1934`:
   - `if (opt-&gt;opt_flen) proto = ipv6_push_frag_opts(skb, opt, proto);`
 - In `net/ipv6/exthdrs.c:1206-1211`, `ipv6_push_frag_opts()` pushes
 `dst1opt` via `ipv6_push_exthdr()`.
 - In `net/ipv6/exthdrs.c:1179-1184`, `ipv6_push_exthdr()` does:
   - `skb_push(skb, ipv6_optlen(opt));`
   - `memcpy(h, opt, ipv6_optlen(opt));`

 With insufficient headroom, `skb_push()` underflows and triggers
 `skb_under_panic()` -&gt; `BUG()`:

 - `net/core/skbuff.c:2669-2675` (`skb_push()` calls `skb_under_panic()`)
 - `net/core/skbuff.c:207-214` (`skb_panic()` ends in `BUG()`)

 - The `IPV6_DSTOPTS` cmsg path requires `CAP_NET_RAW` in the target
 netns user namespace (`ns_capable(net-&gt;user_ns, CAP_NET_RAW)`).
 - Root (or any task with `CAP_NET_RAW`) can trigger this without user
 namespaces.
 - An unprivileged `uid=1000` user can trigger this if unprivileged
 user namespaces are enabled and it can create a userns+netns to obtain
 namespaced `CAP_NET_RAW` (the attached PoC does this).

 - Local denial of service: kernel BUG/panic (system crash).
 - Reproducible with a small userspace PoC.
&lt;/quote&gt;

This patch does not reject duplicated options, as this might break
some user applications.

Instead, it makes sure to adjust opt_flen and opt_nflen to correctly
reflect the size of the current option headers, preventing the overflows
and the potential for panics.

This applies to IPV6_DSTOPTS, IPV6_HOPOPTS, and IPV6_RTHDR.

Specifically:

When a new IPV6_DSTOPTS is processed, the length of the old opt-&gt;dst1opt
is subtracted from opt-&gt;opt_flen before adding the new length.

When a new IPV6_HOPOPTS is processed, the length of the old opt-&gt;dst0opt
is subtracted from opt-&gt;opt_nflen.

When a new Routing Header (IPV6_RTHDR or IPV6_2292RTHDR) is processed,
the length of the old opt-&gt;srcrt is subtracted from opt-&gt;opt_nflen.

In the special case within IPV6_2292RTHDR handling where dst1opt is moved
to dst0opt, the length of the old opt-&gt;dst0opt is subtracted from
opt-&gt;opt_nflen before the new one is added.

 CAP_NET_RAW)`. (line 922)
   - Then it does:
     - `opt-&gt;opt_flen += len;` (line 927)
     - `opt-&gt;dst1opt = hdr;` (line 928)

 There is no duplicate rejection here (unlike the legacy
 `IPV6_2292DSTOPTS` path which rejects duplicates at
 `net/ipv6/datagram.c:901-904`).

 If enough large `IPV6_DSTOPTS` cmsgs are provided, `opt_flen` wraps
 while `dst1opt` still points to a large (2048-byte)
 destination-options header.

 In the attached PoC (`poc.c`):

 - 32 cmsgs with `hdrlen=255` =&gt; `len = (255+1)*8 = 2048`
 - 1 cmsg with `hdrlen=0` =&gt; `len = 8`
 - Total increment: `32*2048 + 8 = 65544`, so `(__u16)opt_flen == 8`
 - The last cmsg is 2048 bytes, so `dst1opt` points to a 2048-byte header.

 3. The transmit path sizes headers using the wrapped `opt_flen`:

- In `net/ipv6/ip6_output.c:1463-1465`:
  - `headersize = sizeof(struct ipv6hdr) + (opt ? opt-&gt;opt_flen +
 opt-&gt;opt_nflen : 0) + ...;`

 With wrapped `opt_flen`, `headersize`/headroom decisions underestimate
 what will be pushed later.

 4. When building the final skb, the actual push length comes from
 `dst1opt` and is not limited by wrapped `opt_flen`:

 - In `net/ipv6/ip6_output.c:1930-1934`:
   - `if (opt-&gt;opt_flen) proto = ipv6_push_frag_opts(skb, opt, proto);`
 - In `net/ipv6/exthdrs.c:1206-1211`, `ipv6_push_frag_opts()` pushes
 `dst1opt` via `ipv6_push_exthdr()`.
 - In `net/ipv6/exthdrs.c:1179-1184`, `ipv6_push_exthdr()` does:
   - `skb_push(skb, ipv6_optlen(opt));`
   - `memcpy(h, opt, ipv6_optlen(opt));`

 With insufficient headroom, `skb_push()` underflows and triggers
 `skb_under_panic()` -&gt; `BUG()`:

 - `net/core/skbuff.c:2669-2675` (`skb_push()` calls `skb_under_panic()`)
 - `net/core/skbuff.c:207-214` (`skb_panic()` ends in `BUG()`)

 - The `IPV6_DSTOPTS` cmsg path requires `CAP_NET_RAW` in the target
 netns user namespace (`ns_capable(net-&gt;user_ns, CAP_NET_RAW)`).
 - Root (or any task with `CAP_NET_RAW`) can trigger this without user
 namespaces.
 - An unprivileged `uid=1000` user can trigger this if unprivileged
 user namespaces are enabled and it can create a userns+netns to obtain
 namespaced `CAP_NET_RAW` (the attached PoC does this).

 - Local denial of service: kernel BUG/panic (system crash).
 - Reproducible with a small userspace PoC.
&lt;/quote&gt;

This patch does not reject duplicated options, as this might break
some user applications.

Instead, it makes sure to adjust opt_flen and opt_nflen to correctly
reflect the size of the current option headers, preventing the overflows
and the potential for panics.

This applies to IPV6_DSTOPTS, IPV6_HOPOPTS, and IPV6_RTHDR.

Specifically:

When a new IPV6_DSTOPTS is processed, the length of the old opt-&gt;dst1opt
is subtracted from opt-&gt;opt_flen before adding the new length.

When a new IPV6_HOPOPTS is processed, the length of the old opt-&gt;dst0opt
is subtracted from opt-&gt;opt_nflen.

When a new Routing Header (IPV6_RTHDR or IPV6_2292RTHDR) is processed,
the length of the old opt-&gt;srcrt is subtracted from opt-&gt;opt_nflen.

In the special case within IPV6_2292RTHDR handling where dst1opt is moved
to dst0opt, the length of the old opt-&gt;dst0opt is subtracted from
opt-&gt;opt_nflen before the new one is added.
